12 BEST INHERITANCE YOU CAN GIVE TO YOUR CHILDREN
1. WISDOM
Wisdom is not graded in schools, wisdom is acquired through life experiences. The best people to teach wisdom are the parents. Mentor your children, share with them your experiences, don't allow them to learn tough lessons through trial and error yet you can impart in them awareness that will make them wiser and go further than you
2. SOCIAL SKILLS
This is one of the most important inheritance you can give them because life is about relationships. Teach your children how to handle self, how to handle sisterhood and brotherhood, how to handle the opposite gender, how to choose the right company, how to make friends and keep friends, how to interact and socialize, how to communicate. This will help your children as they leave your nest
3. HEALTHY VIEW OF FAMILY
If you damage your children's view of marriage you might damage them for life. As a couple, model to them what a healthy couple looks like; the experiences at home shape the children's romantic decisions. If you are a single parent, perhaps divorced or widowed; still speak honourably about marriage and family. Let your children know your experience doesn't have to be their experience
4. GOOD MEMORIES
Childhood memories are what torment adults or keep adults going. Give your children moments they will treasure even after you are gone. Let your children testify, "There are good people in this world and they came in the form of my parents"
5. SOUND MENTAL HEALTH
The worst thing you can leave to your children is trauma. A lot of children receive trauma from their parents through insults, abuse, neglect, comparison and rejection. Leave your children sound mental health by caring, loving and covering them
6. A GOOD NAME
Leave your children a reputation that they will admire, be great to the point your children will feel proud to be associated by you, to carry your name and to name their children after you
7. AN IDENTITY
You have the keys to your children's identity. It is up to you to teach them about their family tree, who are their great grandparents, grandparents, uncles and aunties, cousins, how did you two meet as a couple? so that the children can continue the family lineage
8. FINANCIAL WEALTH
Your children will need money to build their own life; leave them assets, money, shares in companies or even a family business to run. In addition, teach them wealth management. Don't let them struggle yet it was you who brought them into this world
9. A LEGACY OF FAITH
Leave your children with the knowledge of God, pray with them so that they build a prayerful lifestyle that they will help them through life when you are not around. Teach them that as a parent you have your limits but God is their everything
10. CONFIDENCE
Give your children the belief in self, let them leave your hands with a better understanding of their purpose, with an awareness of their greatness. Teach them to silence bullies and to push on when it gets tough
11. VALUES AND TRADITION
Transfer to your children good values and traditions to uphold, such as integrity, hard work, honesty, eating together as a family, unity; so that they continue this on their own
12. A SUPPORT SYSTEM
Introduce your children to mentors, spiritual leaders, family friends, books, teachers, communities, h social clubs that will enrich your children's lives; you can only do so much as a parent, some blessings will come in the other people and platform.
